Assignment 3: Please discuss what makes your title fit into the realistic fiction genre.

Inside Out by Terry Trueman is a realistic look at the onset of schizophrenia in a young man. Told from the point of view of Zach, the novel "lets us into Zach's head" and gives us a realistic view of this frightening disease. The ending is particularly disturbing in its realism.
